Round 56 -57: SC in each stitch around. At the end of round slip stitch and fasten off.

CORD: Holding two strands together, make a chain long enough to go through round 55 and for a strap that is comfortable to you.(Mine is about 36″ long)

HINT: Melt the end of your nylon cord so it doesn’t fray. I also glued the ends of the double strands together (on the inside of the piece) because I was afraid that the knots wouldn’t hold. Nylon cord can be rascally! I also made a rectangle (using a single cord) a little larger than my cell phone and sewed it to the inside of the bag. It’s turned out nice.

Comments

I wish dimensions were given as to the size of the bag. I’m making this one but when I got to round 16, it just didn’t seem big enough. I’m making it a lot bigger. It’s going to be my project bag for taking my crocheting on the go.

I’m sending my comments for the third time. I am not seeing them posted the last two times. Hope the third time is a charm. I made this bag in Red Heart Yarn. I thought the nylon thread was just for the should strap. Can this bag be made with other yarn. If so, how would I make the strap without using the nylon thread?

This bag looks like it’ll make an excellent something to hold my supplies in for college, seeing as I normally carry my textbook in my arms anyway. I’ll just need to add an over the shoulder strap! This pattern is wonderful, thank you!

I just harvested the yarn from an old jumper, and wanted a good drawstring bag to stash my projects in. This is a great pattern, though my rounds came out more as hexagons. I’m on round 13 ATM, and have only made tiny gift bags previously, so this is huge in comparison.
